“…Does background noise impact speech fluency? The presence of high-intensity masking noise sufficient to drown out acoustic reafference from speech has been demonstrated to enhance fluency for some PWS (Block et al, 1996;Fiorin et al, 2019). However, the levels presented in this study were only 70 dB and no speech production tasks were included in the experiment.…”

It has been known for a long time that many people who stutter are immediately fluent in certain conditions, for instance, when they speak in unison with others, in sync with the clicking of a metronome, or when they hear themselves speak in an altered manner. To understand why stuttering is reduced or even eliminated in such conditions is desirable because it may help understand why stuttering occurs in normal speaking conditions. However, empirical findings in this area appear conflicting and confusing, especially with regard to the role of auditory feedback. The article gives an overview of the variety and diversity of fluency-enhancing conditions and of theories proposed to explain their effect. These theories are evaluated in the light of recent empirical findings. A new hypothesis is proposed, based on findings showing that speech processing is limited without attention to the auditory channel. It is assumed that fluency-enhancing conditions draw the speaker’s attention to the auditory channel and, thereby, improve the processing of auditory feedback and its use in speech control. Implications of this account for a causal theory of stuttering and for the treatment of the disorder are discussed.

“…Furthermore, findings from central auditory processing investigations in stuttering children [7] and adults [8] established that those who stutter are different from normal controls in some elements of auditory temporal information processing. Moreover, stuttering has been linked to defective auditory feedback [9,10] .…”

Introduction:This study aims to compare the binaural interaction component of auditory brainstem response (ABR-BIC) between children with stuttering and normal peers, and to correlate ABR-BIC parameters with stuttering severity instrument -3. Patients and Methods: Twenty Stuttering children, diagnosed according to the criteria of stuttering severity instrument -3, and 20 normal age and gender matched peers were included. Click evoked ABRs were recorded through right monaural, left monaural and binaural stimulation at 80 dBnHL in both study groups. ABR-BIC was calculated as the difference between the binaurally evoked ABR response and the algebraic sum of the left and right monaural responses, and ABR-BIC parameters were measured. Results: ABR-BIC latency and duration were significantly prolonged in the stuttering group compared to the control group, while ABR-BIC amplitude and area under the curve (AUC) were comparable. Also, ABR-BIC amplitude and AUC were significantly correlated with stuttering severity. Conclusion:The results of this study point to impaired timing and reduced overall magnitude of binaural interaction at the brainstem level in stuttering children.
